This is writing that doesn't fit into any particular category. It's not prose and it's not quite poetry. It's not quite sane but it's something healthy. Not all of us have it figured out. I sure as hell don't. It's a series of locutions on madness and locura.

Jackson Pollock

I wear a badge on my sleeve
I've got a fucking chip on my chest
You've got some egg on your face
Might as well live with it
It's better than a little bit of blood

I'm caught in the throes of a forced word vomit
Spray my brain on the wall like paint
And we can make a mural


Gutted on all fronts by hungry ghosts
Not sure I'll be able to ignore their sighs
Drown in a bottle like a famous painter
Move to Idaho like a bunch of White Elephants

I wear a badge on my sleeve
Better than a little bit of blood

Caught in the throes of a forced word vomit
Paint my brain on the page like I mean it
And we can write a song.
